As a society, we have started to recognize that elderly people do indeed have sex and that they enjoy it. Now that there are Viagra commercials on TV, this isn't something that is kept underground. However, it's not something that we really talk about too openly and it's still an area of medical research that needs additional exploration.

One recent study which delved into the area of sexuality among older people has found that the number of people around the age of seventy who are having sex has increased significantly in the past thirty years. More importantly, perhaps, is the fact that there has been a corresponding increase in the number of elderly people who report having good sex.

There are many different reasons for this. More open discussion about female orgasm, medical aids to assist with the hormonal imbalances caused by aging and a general willingness to talk more about sex in older years may all contribute to the larger number of people at this age who are reporting that they have healthy sex lives.

Question of the Day: What has caused the great increase in the number of elderly people reporting that they have healthy sex lives?
